The City of Dallas will join cities around the country participating in #CityHallSelfie Day.

Hosted by Engaging Local Government Leaders (ELGL), #CityHallSelfie Day is a social media campaign for people around the world to show their civic pride by taking a selfie in front of their local City Hall or any city, county, special district or regional building.

Residents are encouraged to take a selfie at City Hall, then post it on social media with the hashtags #CityHallSelfie and #Dallas. ELGL will present several awards including “Best #CityHallSelfie by a Newspaper/TV Reporter” and “Best #CityHallSelfie by a Citizen.”

Know where your local city hall is? Well, now’s the time to learn, in time for national City Hall Selfie Day, sponsored by a national local government leaders organization.

On Tuesday, Engaging Local Government Leaders (ELGL) will have social media users take selfies in front of their respective city halls across the country. Those who use the hashtag #CityHallSelfie when posting could win prizes.

There are some lovely town halls and other council buildings out there. Some are steeped in history, some are pretty much brand new. But it’s about more than just the building: we want to join ELGL in celebrating local government and the important work that it does. Councils across the country run the services that have a daily impact on people’s lives, that help shape the places we live and work.
